I'm trying to create a partition scheme in NetBSD that will allow me to use
the entire disk (4gigs) as the /var partition. My problem is that I can't
really
figure the disk geometry that disklabel outputs:

#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  a:   131072        0     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 57*)
  b:   262144   131072     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.   57*-
173*)
  c:  8380080        0   FILECORE                        # (Cyl.    0 -
3707)
  g:  3993432   393216     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.  173*-
1940*)
  h:  3993432  4386648     unused        0     0         # (Cyl. 1940*-
3707)

Is there a way I could create a 4.2BSD filesystem using all the free space
on
the drive in say, sd0a ?

There is probably an easier way of working this out :)
